Such a beautiful atmosphere! We came in for lunch & sat on their patio. The service was great! We loved the Aracini & the pasta was delicious. Unfortunately we were not a big fan with their Calamari, peppers+ sausage & their steak sandwhich, we found it very bland. Found it a little overpriced for not much flavor. I am sure their breakfast & dinner options are great, just fell short on lunch.
I was VERY excited to try this spot, knowing that the Team behind it has been doing it right in Montreal for over 30 years. From Crescent st, to the Big 🎡 Wheel , to this quaint, charming eatery that offers the diner an experience. Conveniently located in the heart of the old port, you step off the street & are welcomed immediately. Find something for everyone, Bavette Steak Sandwich changed my life, worth the trip from Blue Mountain Ontario for one bite! 😃 I look forward to trying some other dishes next time I'm in town, so happy to see passionate people producing excellent food! Great value too, won't break the bank
Food came out cold, overcooked & actually burnt. Asked for no hollandaise sauce on the waffles, & it came covered in hollandaise sauce. Small portions & overpriced for bland food. Don't waste your money or time.
Such a cute little Italian restaurant! We sat on the outdoor patio, & the atmosphere was charming & relaxing. The food was delicious, but the cozy vibe was what made the experience so special. Definitely worth a visit!
If you have time to waste, you can go there. Even if no one is there, it could take your food forever. Your waiter might try to explain to you why, tell you about the problem in the kitchen, if you care. Try it if you want to wait 45 minutes for a charcuterie board.
You might even offer to the people in charge on the floor to skip this whole review business. Tell them what was wrong with your experience in real time. & the people in charge will tell you - I spoke to the boss, they don't care about your experience.
Oh, if you have money to waste, you can go there to overspend on drinks too. Bon appetit!

Si vous avez du temps à perdre, vous pouvez y aller. Même s'il n'y a pas personne-la quand vous arrivez, le service peut être interminable. Le serveur essaiera peut-être de vous expliquer pourquoi - de vous parler des problèmes en cuisine - si tant est que cela vous intéresse. En fait, tentez le coup si vous voulez attendre 45 minutes pour une simple planche de charcuterie !
Vous pourriez même proposer aux responsables sur place de skipper tel avis en ligne & de leur dire directement ce qui n'allait pas avec votre expérience. Mais ils vous répondront - comme on me l'a dit dans mon cas - que les patrons se fichent éperdument de votre expérience.
Ah, & si vous avez de l'argent à gaspiller, vous pouvez aussi y aller pour payer vos verres au prix fort. Bon appetit!
There was a nice day party that i attended yesterday. Our waiter, Victor was amazing! There were tons of people & not enough staff. Victor is sweet, friendly & kept apologizing for the delay for drinks. My group & I told him not to stress. He worked extremely hard.
Expérience très moyenne à ce restaurant, la serveuse est aimable mais le temps d'attente était long, les cocktails sans goût, & la pizza margarita était une foccacia avec de la tomate.
